You could start with the stack of those colorful Stetson 100s!!
Might as well annihilate our senses right off.

Heck yeah! With photobucket and other sites limiting the size and quality, and sometimes removing the links entirely, there’s so many gems I wish I would have saved sooner. I have a folder of almost 200 saved photos, it’s nice just have for the occasional view and salivation.

I'm more interested in the classic lines of a hat than I am the felt. Like the lines of a classic car. Some hats have them, some don't. I enjoy most pics with good composition or a pic taken like it's from the era when the hat was worn. I would have loved to have been a design engineer working in the automotive industry of the 1950's - 1960's; today not so much.
This hat could have been a one owner as I bought it out of Ava, MO.

Gannon Highwayman (& because I love everything in this pic.)
Been awhile since I’ve been struck with genuine hat envy and then @carouselvic does some posting.

And his advice on mulberry season is sage advice for those who live where mulberrys grow.

My ... oh ... my. @carouselvic -- any one of those would be be a grail hat for me. But that many in one place? The stuff dreams are made of. Kudos!

Vic, I noticed the NQ has a couple of pins, one of them being the RV. My NQ that you helped me identify as belonging to Rancheros member Lucien Wulsin III also came with a couple of pins, neither of which bears a makers mark but both are marked as Sterling. I was wondering if yours bore a makers mark?

No makers mark that I can see(that’s not saying much). Here is a good look at the buttonhole stitch binding.

Understood. I had to break out the magnifying glass and bright lights to find Sterling. The pins appear identical, down to the screw on back. I really appreciate the closeups. That edge binding is something. Beautiful interior on that hat as well.
